The British company's success in single-seater racing was translated dramatically into Indycar, as Michael Andretti won the manufacturer's first race at Surfers Paradise, sending shockwaves through the motorsport landscape.
The result not only broke the previous duopoly enjoyed by Lola and Penske - the latter subsequently becoming a Reynard customer - but also established Chip Ganassi Racing as a winning force for the first time, while Jacques Villeneuve emerged as a star of the future later in the season with a Reynard, taking his first win for the Forsythe/Green team.
